Relocation
Welcome to YourResidentialPartner Relocation Network...
You'll Know You're a St. Louisan when
As St. Louis natives, we're able to smoothly transition families from their home to our hometown.
I’ve worked with multiple families moving into the St. Louis area for school and work opportunities.
I know what you need to know to match your needs in schools, neighborhoods and subdivisions. I work with relocation companies to maximize your time and relocation package.
I consider this community an excellent place to live and work (that's why I've never left!). I would love to share my enthusiasm for area neighborhoods and explain the pride and individualism of each. I pride myself on providing unparalleled service and look forward to developing a long-term relationship with you. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss how I can best assist you with your real estate needs.
We work through and with the RE/MAX Relocation network, international companies and corporate relocation companies to represent buyers transferring into the St. Louis area and local employees relocating out of St. Louis who need to sell their homes through a relocation/buy-out process.
Here are our programs and recent testimonials:
"KNOWLEDGE WITH VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS!"
"My wife and I recently moved to the St. Louis are due to relocation with my company. Since we were not familiar with the area, we relied upon Dana to help us with our search. We found Dana to be very knowledge with the various neighborhoods and school districts which gave us a great level of comfort. During our home finding trip, Dana was very patient with us as she took her time to truly understand what we were looking for in our new home. We never felt pressured during the process and had the highest level of confidence that she had our best interest in mind. Not only was she our realtor, but a friend! I recently became aware of a co-worker who was going to move to the St. Louis area, and without hesitation, I recommend that she contact Dana. "
Greg and Julie Burgos, Chesterfield
"Helpful, knowledgeable and patient"
We enjoyed working with Dana Tippit during our move from Maryland to
Missouri. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient, especially
considering our short time frame! She assisted us prior to the house
hunting phase until after we moved into our new house. Actually, we still
contact her because she is such a good resource and so willing to help...
she is definitely a "go to" person for us! She a great real estate agent
and a wonderful person! - Whitney & Sandy Crone, Eureka
"Understanding and patient"
Dana Tippit helped us secure our first home after 46 years. You can imagine how difficult it was for us to leave the security of one home and community and move to another. She was understanding with our indecision, patiently answered our many questions, handled the many big and small details for us, and negotiated professionally with all involved in our "big "move. She made our move easy and painless. Donna Harris, Hillsboro
Little Known St. Louis Facts for the Relocation Buyer:
1. There are 79 "official neighborhoods" in the City of St. Louis. St. Louisans commonly give directions (especially for restaurants) to strangers based on these neighborhoods which aren't marked on any maps that are handed out by the tourist board, the AAA or Mapquest.
2. There are 54 school districts -- on the Missouri side alone - each of which has their own school bus system and scheduled times..
3. There are 91 official municipalities in St. Louis County. Each Municipality has its own rules, regulations, and often their own police departments and have their own snow removal contracts.
4. Laclede Station Road changes names as you cross intersections. As do McCausland, Lindbergh, Watson, Reavis Barracks, Fee Fee, McKnight, Airport Road, Midland, Olive and Clarkson. Gravois
5. Lindbergh belongs to every neighborhood except Kirkwood, who had the name changed to "Kirkwood Road", because Charles Lindbergh would not be their parade Grand Marshall one year.
6. There are two interchanges to exit from Highway 40 onto Clayton Road and two for Big Bend. Stay alert,people!
7. If you need directions to O'Fallon, make sure to specify Illinois or Missouri. This is also true for Troy, Maryville, St. Charles, Springfield,Columbia....
8. St. Louisans were aghast when the federal government required them to update the highway signs
to indicate that the federal highways went to cities in other states instead of local municipalities.
9. Lambert Field and St. Louis International Airport really are the same place. The East Terminal, however, is a different place.
10. Highway 270 is our daily version of the NASCAR circuit. (Same goes for Highway 70.) You can go all four directions on Highway 270: North and South in West County, East and West in South County, and East and West in North County. Confused? So are the St. Louis drivers.
11. The outer belt is Highway 270 which turns into Highway 255 in South County. The inner belt is Highway 170. Highway 370 is an outer-outer belt. Highway 40 is the same as Interstate 64 (but only through the middle part of St. Louis).
12. St. Louisans stop at yield signs and yield, or tap through, stop signs.
13. If someone has their turn signal on, it's a factory defect, or has been on for the last 17 miles.
14. Construction on Highways 40, 64, 70, 255, 270, 44, 55 and 170 is a way of life, and a permanent form of entertainment.
24. Anyone in a Cadillac (driving on Olive west of 270) has the right of way.
25. If it snows or rains? Stay home!!
